''Siphonaria pectinata'', common name the striped false limpet, is a species of air-breathing sea snail or false limpet, a marine heterobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Siphonariidae, the false limpets.〔Gofas, S. (2015). (''Siphonaria pectinata''. ) In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2015-10-06〕 ==Taxonomic status== ''Siphonaria pectinata'' (Linnaeus, 1758) was thought to be a widespread species with an Amphiatlantic distribution. A recent molecular study clearly distinguished three lineages with no apparent connectivity.〔Giribet, G. and Kawauchi, G. Y., 2015. How many species of ''Siphonaria pectinata'' (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) are there? Journal of Molluscan Studies 1–7. Advance Access published 4 September 2015〕 These lineages are now treated as three separate species. They are named as ''S. pectinata'', restricted to the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, ''S. naufragum'' Stearns, 1872 from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico and ''S. placentula'' Menke, 1853 from the Cape Verde Archipelago. The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of ''Siphonaria pectinata'' has been available since 2008.〔Grande C., Templado J. & Zardoya R. 2008. (''Evolution of gastropod mitochondrial genome arrangements'' ). BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:61. 〕 As a result of this study, Grande et al. (2008)〔 proposed that this species should be recognized as a member of the Opisthobranchia rather than the Pulmonata. It is now known that the Pulmonata are actually a group within the former Opisthobranchia and the term Heterobranchia is usually used to clarify this relationship. == Distribution == This species lives high in the intertidal zone on rocky shores in the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. Populations in the Eastern Atlantic in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida and the Florida Keys are now known to belong to the sibling species, ''Siphonaria naufragum''. 〔(''Siphonaria naufragum'' at Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce. )〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Siphonaria pectinata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
